Oregon didnât impress coach Dana Altman in its season-opening win, but seeks to put together a better outing when it hosts Portland State on Monday. The Ducks defeated Northern Arizona 83-73 in Saturdayâs opener but the performance wasnât all that pleasing to Altman. âWeâve got a tremendous amount of work to do in every phase of the game,â Altman said. âI thought we were better prepared. We play again on Monday and Friday and we need to make giants steps in a short period of time.â Portland State won its opener, 77-58 over Pacific (Oregon)
